Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many requests were (a) made and (b) accepted for transfer of an asylum application from the UK to another country under (i) article 8, (ii) article 9, (iii) article 10 and (iv) article 17 of the Dublin III Regulation during the last 12 months for which figures are available.

At present we do not publish data on cases covered by the Dublin Regulation. Eurostat, the EU’s statistics agency, regularly publishes Member State figures, which you can find at
